Why let it run if it’s not too heavy? Hold it firm till it stops swinging then lower it with no drama.

Why rig little gay pieces when you could do it in fewer rigs and break your deadeye oh wait...

Snubbing is a phrase used for many types of rope work - particularly that relating to horses and boats - it relates to checking the initial movement by simply taking a turn on the rope round a post or similar (RCS?) but then letting it run in a controlled manner once the dynamic energy has been absorbed (I think!).  Different to making fast, which involves tying off etc.

 

We use it when a boat comes alongside as it allows the boat's movement to be checked using a single cleat and, once that has been done, any remaining kinetic energy can be used to fine tune the position of the boat by easing the line accordingly.

Good info, thanks.

Yeah, we lock stuff off all the time if we need to.

 

Sounds like there wasn’t much else you could do tbf Joe, as you say must be a CTF thing.

Glad you only bust the inside of your pants.

Could've chogged it all onto the patch of lawn behind if I'd needed to. There was a decent chance of a round bouncing and fucking off through a fence or chicken coop though.

We hardly ever negative rig.

I reckon it’s quicker bombing chunks onto a half filled ton bag.

I hate chogging unless I can take bigger bits. I eat way too much sawdust otherwise

Poker chips are a pita, I agree.

I mean lumps like half that piece that snapped your loopie.
